try-clone

Fallible cloning.

This crate defines TryClone, a small trait for types whose cloning operation can fail. Unlike Clone, which is infallible by design, TryClone returns a Result to allow implementations to report errors.

Implementations are provided for standard library types that expose a try_clone API, such as File, as well as for common containers and collections (Box, Arc, Vec, ...) where appropriate APIs exists.

A blanket implementation is available behind the blanket-impl feature, which implements TryClone for all Clone types.
